пятница

I've become enamored with old school cocktails. Like I'll come home and make myself an Old Fashioned before dinner. Then maybe after dinner I'll have a digestif. Like a Fernet Branca or Grand Marnier. Like where has a solid Manhattan been all my life. Or a Gimlet. I've been burying my liver with beer and jack and cokes, rum and cokes all this time while hand crafted time proven good spirits fine recipes have been there all along. I'm a sophisticant now.

Enjoy the finer things in life boys could be over tomorrow.

Remember when I said I'm not scared of anything. Or afraid of dying. Whatever I said. Well I'm shit scared of my house blowing up from ancient gas pipes. Just about every neighborhood in NYC has been around for 100 years. My house was built in 1941. Gas pipes being old and shit, sewage, the subway is old, electrics are old. NYC is old. A disadvantage to some, a historic treasure to others.

Klondike bars are extremely underrated. Solid thin crunch of chocolate over good vanilla ice cream. I mean you couldn't fuck that up if you tried. Just a solid frozen treat to enjoy in the house. Cheap too. And neatly wrapped in some cheap aluminum based paper product of some sort.

Easter candy is amazing. Reminds me of the paradox of things we should eat all year round not just holidays or special occasions. Like corned beef. I know keef corned beef is gross. God you are the worst. Anyway corned beef is delicious and I will eat it more than just on st. pattys day. Easter candy is incredible. I will eat jelly beans all year round and buy those marshmallow egg carton things and freeze them. Also don't forget the GOAT of easter candy. NERDS JELLY BEANS.

also the history of this recipe originates to kentucky and was made popular here in nyc, as were many drink, just because of the population growth and how fancy nyc was compared to other cities in the roaring 20's

anyway i believe in midwest and what you referring to is true but i think they choose to use brandy instead of whiskey
